In any factory, ensuring hygiene procedures are followed is of paramount importance. These hygiene procedures involve providing and maintaining clean and safe environments, providing adequate facilities, and promoting best hygiene practices through staff training. By adhering to these, factories prevent contamination and ensure a healthy workplace.

Key focus areas to maintain hygiene procedures in factories include:
Cleanliness: Regularly clean and disinfect all areas including floors, walls, equipment and storage areas.

Ventilation and Lighting: Ensure proper ventilation and lighting to prevent the build-up of dust, moisture and odours.

Waste Management: Provide appropriate waste containers and ensure proper disposal of all waste types.

Floor and walkways: Ensure floors and walkways are free from hazards and unobstructed.

Pest Control: Make sure there is a comprehensive pest control programme in place to prevent any infestations.
